Re: Utramatic rebuild?

Hello all, From my experience of working on Ultramatics and Twin Ultramatics over the past 30 years, I would strongly recommend that the input shaft should be hard chromed and ground back to size if there is any wear evident at all in the areas in contact with bushes. Looking at the wire brushed 56J shaft on Troy's Workshop, I would definitely have that shaft reconditioned before I would consider using it.
Also be very fussy about putting the new sealing ring on the Converter, make sure that you remove every trace of the old O ring or it will leak and drive you crazy.....from my experience.

Best regards, Peter Toet.
